Endometrial cysts of the ovary (EMC) may develop into endometriosis (EM)‑associated ovarian cancer over time (EAOC), but the pathogenesis of this disease has not been determined. In the present study, …
Neoangiogenesis is necessary for adhesion and invasion of endometriotic lesions. We hypothesize that by blocking angiogenetic pathways we can suppress endometriosis. Oral contraceptive pills (OCs) are routinely used in endometriosis …
Endometriosis appears to have a multilayered etiology, with genetic and epigenetic factors each contributing half of the pathogenesis. The molecular processes that underlie the onset of endometriosis are yet unclear, …
To identify key genes and potential drug targets for ovarian-related diseases through genome-wide Mendelian randomization (MR) and colocalization analyses.
As a complex chronic gynecological disorder characterized by multifaceted etiology involving genetics, environment, immunity and inflammation, endometriosis (EM) has long been a significant concern for women of reproductive age worldwide. …
Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, which can usually be divided into peritoneal endometriosis (PEM), deep-infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometriosis (OEM). Although the three pathologic types are essentially the same …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic disease severely impacting reproductive health, with its exact cause still unclear. In-depth understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of EM from the perspective of genetics …
The interaction between vitamin D and the immune system is perhaps the most well recognised extraskeletal facet of vitamin D, encompassing early studies of therapy for TB and leprosy through …
Although the exact pathogenesis of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) remains unclear, some factors are known to be sex-specific. We aimed to investigate the incidence and systemic associations for CSC in …
Endometriosis, a persistent inflammatory disease, is associated with pelvic or abdominal pain. The immune system and sensory nervous system show a synergistic effect on regulation of pain. In particular, Interleukin-33 …
